Relational algebra

Selection (relational algebra)

In relational algebra, a selection (sometimes called a restriction in reference to E.F. Codd's 1970 paper and not, contrary to a popular belief, to avoid confusion with SQL's use of SELECT, since Codd's article predates the existence of SQL) is a unary operation that denotes a subset of a relation. A selection is written as or where: * a and b are attribute names * θ is a binary operation in the set * v is a value constant * R is a relation The selection denotes all tuples in R for which θ holds between the a and the b attribute. The selection denotes all tuples in R for which θ holds between the a attribute and the value v. For an example, consider the following tables where the first table gives the relation Person, the second table gives the result of and the third table gives the result of . More formally the semantics of the selection is defined asfollows: The result of the selection is only defined if the attribute names that it mentions are in the heading of the relation that it operates upon.

20 The identity element

Sets might contain an element that can be identified as an identity element under some binary operation. Performing the operation between the identity element and any arbitrary element in the set must result in the arbitrary element. An example is the identity element for the binary opera

The SQL Create Index Statement

This video explains how to use the CREATE INDEX statement of the Structured Query Language (SQL). It is the third in a series about a subset of SQL known as the Data Definition Language (DDL), which can be used to create and modify the table structures within a relational database. It in

Citus Architecture Extending Postgres to Build

Citus is a distributed database that scales out Postgres. By using the extension APIs, Citus distributes your tables across a cluster of machines and parallelizes SQL queires. This talk describes the Citus architecture by focusing on our learnings in distributed systems. http://www.pgconf

O'Reilly Webcast: Nullology: The Zen of Database

Nullology is the study of the empty set. Of course, sets crop up all over the place in the database world; but the question is--and it's a crucial one--what happens if the set under consideration happens to be empty? For example, a relation contains a set of tuples: what about the possibil

Piotr Sniady: Representation theory from the random matrix perspective

Talk at the conference "Noncommutative geometry meets topological recursion", August 2021, University of Münster. Abstract: In many cases a representation of a group can be viewed as a "random matrix with non-commutative entries". This viewpoint gives a heuristic explanation for many links

Isomorphisms in abstract algebra

In this video I take a look at an example of a homomorphism that is both onto and one-to-one, i.e both surjective and injection, which makes it a bijection. Such a homomorphism is termed an isomorphism. Through the example, I review the construction of Cayley's tables for integers mod 4
